Nissan Regular Bed 4WD: where the car was built and what it pays
Zero duty is a property of one car, not of the Nissan Regular Bed 4WD as such. An American line means 0% duty and a lower 23% VAT base; a line outside the States means 10%. Manufacturers run parallel production on several continents, so two cars from one model year can clear differently.
Where is the Nissan Regular Bed 4WD assembled?
Most zero-rated Regular Bed 4WD cars come from the plant in Smyrna (United States). Plants in other countries build this model too, and their cars clear at 10%. We read the plant from the production data of a single VIN, so the answer covers one car rather than the whole family.
| Plant | Country | VIN prefix | Cars in our database | Duty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smyrna | United States | 1N6 | 5 | 0% duty |
Made in USA • Tax 0%
How do you check a specific car?
Enter the VIN and compare the result: if you see the Smyrna plant, that Regular Bed 4WD came off an American line and qualifies for the 0% rate. Another plant means 10%, with no exceptions for version, equipment or model year. The check is free and needs no account.
How much will you save?
The zero rate works in two places at once: 10% of duty disappears and the base for 23% VAT falls with it. That is why the difference across the whole bill on a US-assembled Regular Bed 4WD is larger than duty alone. The result follows customs value, so put yours into the calculator.
Work out the import costWhat the import cost is made of
The bill is made of a few fixed percentages and one variable, which is the customs value of the car. Duty is 0% on a Regular Bed 4WD assembled in the USA and 10% on the rest, excise is 3.1% or 18.6% by engine size, and 23% VAT is charged on the value with duty and excise added.
| Component | Rate |
|---|---|
| Duty — car assembled in the USA | 0% |
| Duty — everything else | 10% |
| Excise | 3.1% up to 2.0 l, 18.6% above 3.5 l |
| VAT | 23% |
Rates, not amounts — the calculator works the sum out on current data.
Zero-duty paperwork — our job
We handle customs from the auction to the registration desk. A Regular Bed 4WD with an American plant is declared under the preference in force since 2026-07-01, the rest at the standard 10% duty. Which documents are needed follows from the car's data, not from the seller's description.
What to watch for when buying at auction
Before you raise your bid, look at the damaged area. On a Regular Bed 4WD it is most often features.lots.characteristics.damage_type.front_end, and then the key question is whether the body structure was disturbed. Origin is a separate check, run on the VIN — the two things are independent of each other.
| Damage | Cars in our database |
|---|---|
| Front end | 2 |
| All over | 1 |
| Mechanical | 1 |
From the USA or from Europe?
The comparison only means something after a VIN check. The same Nissan Regular Bed 4WD bought in the States can come in at 0% or 10% depending on the assembly plant, so a car from the USA is not one cost category. On the European side clearance falls away, and usually so does the choice of versions.
